Introduction


	Mission The Boston Children Centre aims to provide a well rounded education and provide general upkeep for all orphans, destitute and vulnerable children in Quarry and Matopeni Villages with little cost, thus providing opportunities for the neediest children from both villages to escape poverty, to have access to meaningful employment and to lead fulfilling lives.

	Hundreds of children in the Matopeni and Quarry slum face illiteracy, culturally accepted abuse, homelessness and starvation. Our aim is to ensure the well being and improve the quality of life of the children of Quarry through education. How those children fare as a whole depends not only on their access to education and vocational skills, but also on the satisfaction of their basic needs. The staff of Quarry strive to give equal attention to all orphans by catering to their spiritual, physical, intellectual, social and emotional needs regardless of gender or religion. This includes secondary and vocational programs that target older children and seek to provide orphans with skills, such as information technology, woodworking and sewing , useful and necessary skills that will help the children become productive and self reliant members of the community.


	The vision of starting a sponsorship program in Quarry was to have an organization which can serve the poor and disadvantaged children from this impoverished community who drop out of school due to lack of school uniforms and other scholastic materials. The orphans who have lost their parents to the HIV/AIDS pandemic as well as other causes of death, destitute children who are pushed to the streets due to economic constraints affecting their families.
	In addition, there is an interest in rescuing children from child labor especially in the nearby quarry and also from domestic work. To meet the development goal contained in the millennium declaration of achieving universal primary education ensuring that by 2015 Matopeni /Quarry Orphans and children everywhere, boys and girls alike will be able to complete a full course of primary school.
	Improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring the excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially outcomes in literacy and essential life skills, is thus a key part of the vision shared by everyone who is promoting and assisting Sponsor quarry child Values.
	The availability of a quality education in Matopeni/Quarry villages will enhance equal development opportunities for both the very needy and the well-to-do. Adoption of the Children's Act, in 2001, which recognizes that education is a basic human right for all children has eased the promotion of school-community partnership by encouraging the utilization of school based community activities and involving parents and guardians in school development programs. The community is sensitive to the benefits of education for all children, adding to and enhancing existing affirmative actions to encourage girls' participation in primary school.
	Education is the cornerstone of the our two villages (Matopeni and Quarry). The school believes that orphans and destitute children should be given the opportunity to have a proper education, a fundamental right that should be provided for every human being. Despite the children's unfortunate circumstances and abandonment, they should not be denied the chance to learn to improve their future.
